Dear Parent/Carer

Happy, sunny Friday everyone!  What a lovely week it has been!

This week in Year 5 and 6, the children have been taking part in assessments.  They have worked hard to show us how much progress they are making.  

As always when we complete assessments, there will not be homework this week.

Today, the children have made cards for a certain special day on Sunday and attended a sale to buy a lovely gift or two.  Thank you to the PTA for organising the sale.

Thank you to all of the Year 6 parents who attended the Isle of Wight meeting on Wednesday.  If you were unable to attend, your child should have brought home a copy of the Powerpoint slides we used.  If you have any questions regarding the trip, please email the school office or year5_6@downhallprimary.com 

Drop In Session - Wednesday 30th March

After school this Wednesday, we are excited to announce that there will be a drop-in session between 3:15-4:00pm! This will be an opportunity for you all to come into class  and to look at some of their work. We will send all the children out to you as usual on this day and once all the children are with their adults, you can come to the classroom. There will be sufficient time for you to visit more than one class if you have more than one child in school. We are very much looking forward to seeing you all on Wednesday!

Fundraising For Ukraine - Friday 1st April

Just a reminder that on Friday 1st April, the children will be able to wear blue and yellow clothes (non-school uniform) to school to help raise money for the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine - suggested donation of £1.

In class, we will be discussing how, many Ukranian children have become displaced through no fault of their own and how the conflict affects their right to be safe from harm, the right to a home and the right to go to school. 


Have a lovely weekend.  Enjoy the sunny weather while it lasts.

Miss Sharman, Mrs Devlin and Mrs Witherall
